No horse is even remotely interesting to watch as Secretariat...Nothing again will ever reach his level...Not even humans...He was in his own league. No comparison.

Awesome vid of an awesome horse. And a big horse too. I think he was over 17 hands.

Look, I'll put my fascination with SECRETARIAT up against anyone on the planet, but I categorically disagree with that statement you made ("No horse is even remotely interesting to watch as Secretariat"). For instance, have you ever watched Forego's courageous come-from-behind win in the 1976 Marlboro Cup to win his third consecutive Horse of the Year award? Yes, SECRETARIAT was a bright light streaking across the sky, but there are other fascinating horses as well. SECRETARIAT wasn't alone.
You're correct. ... ( 3 months ago by gfn02)
You're correct. Forego was one of the biggest, if not THE biggest, Champion thoroughbreds ever. He was massive. That height actually worked against him; he was always beset with ankle trouble because of his tremendous height/weight. Thanks for taking a look!
Ok...I just watched ... ( 3 months ago by cmf4321)
Ok...I just watched the race. I'm not saying he may not be a great horse...but HOW Secretariat won his races...well, sorry but this race wasn't even on the same par.
Secretariat's wins were absolutely the most awe-inspiring. The only other horse I'm truly fascinated with is Man O' War. I just think they're in a completely different league than all other race horses. There are other race horses I also like:-) And, yes, I'm only fascinated with the 2 greatest. Especially Secretariat.
You're entitled to ... ( 3 months ago by gfn02)
You're entitled to your opinion. You're preachin' to the choir about SECRETARIAT. He was indeed awe-inspiring. However, I again have serious trouble with you qualifying the term great when considering applying it to Forego ("I'm not saying he MAY not be a great horse [emphasis added by me]). There's no ifs, ands, buts, or MAYS about it: Forego WAS a great thoroughbred. To say anything other than that is to deny reality. It's ok you're not fascinated by him. Not ok to suggest Forego isn't great.
Unfortunately, you ... ( 3 months ago by cmf4321)
Unfortunately, you misinterpreted my comment. I said "may" because I obviously don't know his racing record as well as you:-)
I misinterpreted ... ( 3 months ago by gfn02)
I misinterpreted nothing; it is not my responsibility to assume that you wouldn't know that Forego is one of the all-time greats, and easily one of the top three or so geldings that has ever raced. It's not as if it's hard to find stuff on Forego; it's all there for anyone to watch and/or read. You watched the 76 MC, and I've seen you comment cf's vids, too. He has a literal plethora of Forego races to pour through. Anyone with a computer can find them, including you. No beef here.

Yes, he was 17.2 or 17.3, one of the tallest and heaviest thoroughbreds to win Horse of the Year, maybe THE tallest and heaviest.

gfn02, i like man o war but he had to race citation, fager and spectacular bid i can assure you that he would not have such a great record. well. i am asumming. what is your opinion, no doubt all of these horses are the greats of racing.

Send me a private message in my YT inbox, or hit me up on Yahoo messenger (gfn02ATyahooDOTcom) and we can chat about it. I very much appreciate your compliment. As soon as I can get some things all squared away, there will be more videos on the way. Don't forget to send me a message or contact me on instant messenger. We'll chat about this stuff if you'd like.

Hmm, I dissagree.
Man o' War was absolutely OUTSTANDING.
By far the best race horse there ever was, and probably ever will be.
The way he could race two days apart and win the way he did, and not even being let out fully.
Amazing... Just amazing...
gfn02 is right, ... ( 2 weeks ago by BE109)
gfn02 is right,Forego was HUGE,that was why he didn't start a race until he was a 3 yr old. He needed time to grow into his big frame. He didn't really start to show what he would soon become until the summer of his 3 yr old year. What is amazing is the fact that he wasn't a sound horse,his ankle(s) were really bad. With top notch trainers Sherrill,and later Whitely nursed him thru all those championship years. Whitely was appalled when he first saw Forego's legs,he couldn't believe it.
